Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Geek Vapes is a small rising brand. The Griffin, then the Avocado, allowed this Chinese manufacturer to make a name for itself. Their credo: efficient products at moderate prices.

To continue this momentum, it is a dripper that we are discovering today: the Tsunami. Another cataclysm, it's incredible the number of calamities on the market! More seriously, this dripper seems in the usual spirit of the brand, well designed, efficient and cheap. If we want to summarize, this RDA is the synthesis of two other known drippers: the Velocity and the Kennedy.

So, will Geek Vapes confirm the overall good impression left by this brand so far?

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

As I said, this dripper is the synthesis of two good drippers: the Velocity for its plateau and the Kennedy for its global shape and its airflow.

Tsunami open now

Simple and elegant, the Tsunami is rather pleasing to the eye.

Tsunami from above

22mm in diameter, large airholes visible at the base, the air arrives under each coil through two 4mm tubes. The tank is not huge. A set of three drip-tips allows you to slightly modify its appearance.

The two O-rings keep the body in place.A gold-plated screw is placed on the 510 pin.

Everything is perfectly machined and the whole seems very satisfactory to me considering the price.

Functional features

  • Adjustable positive stud? Yes, through an adjustment by thread, the assembly will be flush in all cases
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, and variable
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 10
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 1
  • Positioning of the air regulation: From below and benefiting the resistances
  • Atomization chamber type: Bell type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The choice of a Velocity type plate is currently more than common. Almost all recent atomizers use this deck.

The assembly is therefore easy and the pads are drilled to accommodate large diameter resistive wires and the screws hold the coils perfectly in place. We can give it to our heart's content, single, double or even quadruple coil.

The Kennedy type airflow is provided by four 4 mm tubes (2 per coil) and you can choose to feed one coil or two thanks to the three notches drilled in the body. We can vary the airflow but I think our Tsunami is more likely to turn fully.

Not much else to say, this dripper is simple and efficient.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of drip-tip attachment: Owner but passage to 510 through an adapter not supplied
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

There is not one but three drip-tips. A 12mm diameter conical delrin drip tip that screws directly onto the body. A second right, also in delrin, 13,5 mm in diameter which is screwed directly. These two drip-tips have a large diameter, perfectly suited to the manufacture of large clouds.

And, finally, an 510 adapter with a metal drip-tip, with a slightly smaller diameter: 11mm.

A priori you will find your happiness depending on your vape and, in addition, this will allow you to slightly modify the look of the ato.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A small black and orange box, which displays a photo of the product on the top and a technical presentation on the bottom. Simple, but completely in line with the tariff level.

The kit is complete with its spares and three drip-tips.

I like this new habit that the Chinese have taken to release complete products with everything you need. The price is, moreover, reasonable, a pity that the instructions have been forgotten, it weighs down the note. At the same time, it is material intended for confirmed vapers who will get by without difficulty.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.4 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

An easy to use and compact dripper. I have nothing in particular to say on this point, I will just add that the large airflow tubes under the coils work very well, but they limit the capacity of the tank, so you will feed the Tsunami often.

In terms of vape quality, the tandem of vapor and flavor is there. This dripper works perfectly well and I really like the possibility of making a lot of different assemblies. Be careful however, the beast heats up well when you go up in the towers with an exotic assembly. Tsunami yes, but of volcanic origin surely. 

Recommendations for use

  • With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
  • Which mod model is it recommended to use this product with? A fairly powerful electro box or a good mechanic
  • With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
  • Description of the test configuration used: Double and single Clapton coil
  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: I find it good with the Eleaf Pico. The set-up is compact but cloudesque

was the product liked by the reviewer: Yes

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Geek Vape never ceases to delight us. Indeed, this small Chinese firm offers us once again a very competitive atomizer.

The Tsunami is a rather compact dripper that borrows from Velocity and Kennedy.

Its plateau allows you to have a lot of fun and, associated with the generous airflow, it invites you to the land of the big cloud.

Simple, no fuss, it offers a vape rich in flavors and vapor. The ato is of good quality and the quality / vape / price ratio is therefore very satisfactory.

Far from certain prohibitive prices of its high-end counterparts, this modest atomizer has yet something to compare as it is well finished and, in addition, the pack offering spare parts and no less than three drip-tips will delight you at the opening.

A good surprise therefore, even if Geek Vape does not bring anything revolutionary, its choice to skillfully combine the technical solutions of competitors allows it to serve us a very good ato.

Good vape!
